Build not including ejs files

for some reasons when i run build. i am getting build and i am able to run the application but the ejs files are missing in the build and i am getting template not found error attached is the error which i am getting when i am on the route

here is my project structure

and the code where i am using ejs is

import * as express from 'express';
import { isAuthenticated } from "@components/authentication/passport-strategies";
import appRoot from 'app-root-path'


class StaticSite {
  constructor(server: express.Express) {
    const router = express.Router();
    
    server.set("views",`${appRoot.path}/src/public/views`);
    server.set("view engine", "ejs");
    server.engine('ejs', require('ejs').__express);

    
    router.use('/login', async (req: express.Request, res: express.Response) => {
      res.render('pages/login');
    });
    router.use('/pages/search',isAuthenticated, async (req: express.Request, res: express.Response) => {
      res.render('pages/coveoSearch');
    });
    router.use('/', isAuthenticated, async (req: express.Request, res: express.Response) => {
      res.render('pages/index');
    });
    server.use('/', router);
  }
}
export default StaticSite;

and below is the router initalization in the application

import { Express } from 'express'
import { DocsServeRouter, HealthRouter, AuthRouter,StaticRouter } from '@routes/index';

export function initRouters(app: Express): void {
  new HealthRouter(app);
  new DocsServeRouter(app);
  new AuthRouter(app);
  new StaticRouter(app);
}

build commad which i am using

"build": "ncc build src/server.ts -o release -e typescript --source-map",

Start with the ncc build src/server.ts -o release -e typescript --source-map command and the src/server.ts entry point, then trace how src/public/views is referenced by the Express setup. Verify the built release output and the /login, /pages/search, and / routes; done means the EJS templates are included and those routes no longer produce a template-not-found error.
